I'm a FORMER Laker die-hard who jumped off the bandwagon when Kobe came to town and started whining, fussing, demanding and dividing.

Kobe is a great talent, but scoring 81 every game will not take the Lakers back to glory or put him in the class of Jordan, Johnson or Bird.

Until Kobe and the Chicago Bulls coaching staff vacates Los Angeles, I'm happy to be a Clipper fan.
